warnings: fluff, author doesnt know how to end
The café buzzed with quiet conversation as you, Sana, and Momo sat together at your usual table. Momo had suggested a casual meet-up to catch up, but you hadn't expected to see Sana there as well. While you were familiar with each other, the two of you rarely interacted directly, and that unfamiliarity had created an awkward tension that neither of you quite knew how to navigate.
You shifted uncomfortably in your seat, glancing over at Momo, who was animatedly chatting about some recent events. Sana sat across from you, her attention occasionally flickering to you between sips of her iced coffee. Though the three of you had mutual friends, these moments with just Sana always felt... complicated.
The awkwardness was made even more palpable when Momo suddenly stood up, her eyes darting toward the back of the café. "I'll be right back, just need to use the restroom," she said casually, giving both you and Sana a quick smile before walking away.
You froze.
Momo's absence left you and Sana sitting alone, an awkward silence settling between you like a thick fog. You kept your gaze fixed on your coffee cup, trying not to make the situation more uncomfortable than it already was.
Sana, on the other hand, seemed determined to break the silence. She shifted in her seat, her eyes landing on you with a curious, somewhat hesitant look.
"So..." she started, her voice soft but carrying a note of playful awkwardness. "We don't really get to hang out one-on-one, do we?"
You glanced up, feeling a mix of surprise and nervousness. "Yeah, I guess not," you mumbled, trying to keep your voice steady. "We mostly see each other through Momo"
Sana smiled, a bit more confidently now. "Mhm, I've noticed. It's funny because we have so many mutual friends, but we never really talk"
You nodded, your fingers fidgeting with the edge of your sleeve. "Yeah, it's kind of weird now that you mention it"
Sana chuckled softly, and for a brief moment, the tension seemed to lift. Her laughter was light, easy, and contagious, and it helped ease some of the awkwardness you'd been feeling.
"I've always wanted to get to know you better," Sana said, her tone more sincere now. She looked at you with genuine curiosity, her eyes lingering on yours a bit longer than expected. "You seem really cool and you're really pretty too"
You blinked, momentarily caught off guard by Sana's compliment. Her tone was light, casual even, but there was something in the way her eyes lingered on you that sent a wave of warmth rushing through you. You weren't used to this side of her—sure, Sana was known to be playful and charming with her friends, but this felt different. This felt... personal.
"Thanks," you managed to say, trying to sound composed despite the flutter in your chest. You looked down at your coffee, feeling the heat creep up your neck, and added with a nervous laugh, "You're not so bad yourself"
Sana's smile widened at your response, her eyes gleaming with amusement. "Not so bad, huh? I'll take that," she teased, her voice dropping into a softer, more intimate tone. She leaned forward just slightly, resting her chin on her hand as if she were studying you.
There was a playful lightness to her movements, but her gaze held a certain intensity. It was as if she could sense your unease and was enjoying every second of making you squirm just a little bit. The tension between you shifted from awkward to charged, the atmosphere crackling with an energy you hadn't expected.
